BPC-157
The science behind its potential function.
Treatment in people are still being studied.
- What it is
- BPC-157 is a 15-amino-acid peptide based on a protein found in human gastric juice. It is a synthetic version of a small segment of BPC (Body Protection Compound), a larger protein naturally present in the stomach.
- Blood vessel growth
- Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels. Researchers have examined how this process relates to healing tissue.
- Joint and Tendon Health
- Preclinical research suggests BPC-157 may support the strength, flexibility, and recovery of connective tissues, including tendons and ligaments.
- The digestive tract
- Animal studies suggest BPC-157 may reduce inflammation and help protect and repair the lining of the stomach and intestines, but its benefits in people remain unproven.
